29 November 1943

Hi Pats

I have for JG 1:

29 November 1943: Oberleutnant Heinrich Klöpper, Staffelkapitän of 7./JG 1, killed in Bf 109 G-6/U4 "White 1" (W.Nr. 410 106), crashed returning from aerial combat due to bad weather, southwest of Meppel
29 November 1943: Oberfähnrich Manfred Spörk of 7./JG 1 killed in Bf 109 G-6 "White 3" (W.Nr. 15 930), crashed returning from aerial combat due to bad weather, southwest of Meppel
29 November 1943: Oberfeldwebel Hermann Brackhagen of 7./JG 1 killed in Bf 109 G-6 "White 5" (W.Nr. 15 285), crashed returning from aerial combat due to bad weather, southwest of Meppel

All three pilots of the Kette were killed when they dove into low clouds and did not pull up in time. I hope this helps out somewhat.

Horrido!

Leo
